so what is your view?

am i living in sin?

in god's eyes when you sleep together you are "married" no where in the bible does it mention signing legal documents.

i was reading the post on our standing within the congregation http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=40040&site=3&page=3 and no matter what part of the world we live in, its always the same thing.. it is always the elders kids that get away with murder while the ones that are really trying to do the right thing always get blamed for it.. when i would mention this to my mum she would always reply with, satan has already got them.

he is trying to get you.. if you are getting persecuted.. it means you are doing the right thing.. does that sound strange to anyone other then me?.

how is this.... i started working for a company in sydney while still a witness.

i moved from a little country town to there so didnt know a soul.

well the receptionist that worked with me was very loud and out going and used to swear quite a bit.. but i started picking up signals as you do when your a witness that this girl was also a witness.

i must start by saying i am upset because i was going to attend my very first ex jw meet up this weekend and it has been canceled so i am not happy about that.. i thought that maybe we can organise our own meet up in australia.

i know it happens all the time in america because there seem to be more of them in this forum that get together.. as i have only just recently left the borg i would love to meet some people that are going through the same thing.. i would be happy to organise it.. of course everyone is invited not just us aussies!!!

would love you to come.. what do you think??

my sister who is still a jw called me today and was talking to me about my "situation".

i said to her that i am studing, doing research and trying to find my way and what i believe.. i said how mum said is pleading for me to go back to the meetings and i said to my sister that i cannot make up my own mind if i am at the meetings.

her reply was "the only way you can is at the meetings because that is where you get holy spirit from.".

Is there anyone close by???

i have only just registered at this forum and i would like to know if there are any ex jw's that live in or close to canberra, australia.. i have been shunned by all family and friends because i left the organisation (not disfellowshipped at this stage but won't be long) and i finding it hard to cope with.

i am sorry to be down but i miss all my family and friends and would love to make new friends that know what i am going through.

my boyfriend is very understanding but gets frustrated as he doesn't know why my family are doing this to me.. this sounds like a whingy post but i promise you, i am not normally like this.
